So is it not yet possible to run the 5-chip units under linux then? Does any linux miner software exist? I compiled the gridseed github minerd and got the same issues:

Code:

Don't worry too much about it, if you read my later posts and follow this topic, you will see that the modified CPUMiner works with silver units, although you may face several difficulties like others and I did.

I will try again the version that I compiled on Linux, now that the 'hardware issues' have been solved and it's hashing fine on Windows.

By the way, the output above is normal, you may want to leave it running for a couple of minutes to see if any shares are found and sent back to the pool (look for such lines in the log)

Code:

Notice that minerd always reports '0.00 khash/s' which is misleading - it's just unable to report the hashrate.
